Early Assessment & Support

The Early Assessment & Support Alliance (EASA) team is committed to providing rapid identification/assessment, support,  and treatment for youth who are experiencing early signs of psychosis.

EASA is a two year transitional program for Douglas County youth ages 12 to 25 who have experienced a first episode of psychosis or who  have experienced symptoms within the last year that are not caused by a medical condition or substance abuse.

Our EASA clinical team consists of highly trained medical and mental health professionals, vocational specialists and peer support specialists  who work with young people and their families to provide wholistic assessment, treatment and resources to support short and long-term health and well-being outcomes.
